Im not saying repairable things cant last long but objectively speaking the more moving parts especially ones that can be removed with little friction (without tools) the less durable something is. That’s inherent to any device with moving parts, the idea is therefore it should be reduced (within reason). Yes framework laptops can be infinitely repaired but people want something that will last without needing to be repaired.
There’s no reason why you can’t design a repairable product with fewer moving parts. Just because I superglued stuff doesn’t mean it’ll last longer.
Repairable also doesn’t mean tool less. It means having published schematics, spare parts available at decent prices as well as using standard tooling (no obsure screw heads or software pairing or DRM or other such fuckery).
Repairable also doesn’t mean repairable in the house. It can be repairable by a specialist but that specialist shouldn’t be sanctioned by the OEM.
Apple, John Deere, McDonald’s etc. all make things that could be repairable with little corporate effort but intentionally make it non repairable.
For the grand majority of people having hardware that lasts longer is more important than hardware that can be repaired
If you think a repairable thing can’t last long or something that can last long cant be repairable then you’re mistaken

Right but framework specifically does have a lot of moving parts and toolless disassembly
